In this assignment we are attempting to calculate earth loop impedance values of a distribution system of a factory the diagram of which is shown below. We were asked to calculate the values of earth loop impedance at the motor, socket and sub distribution board in order to this we must add the values of impedance from other parts of the circuit also and other calculat ions must also be undertaking which can be seen below also. For the purpose of our calculations the value of circuit breakers and bus-bars are negligible.

Transformer impedance:
For the transformer from the information I acquired from the diagram the values of resistance and reactance which were got from our tables are as follows: R = 2.12m and X =11.61m. Please note for the sake of calculations we are using complex notation thus impedance for the transformer is 2.12m + j11.61m
As there are three conductors in each phase we must apply the following formula
For ease of future calculation I shall now add the three series impedances together to give us the value of resistance at point A which is shown in our diagram above.

We shall now add the impedances from our earlier calculations to get a total value therefore total earth loop impedance at the socket is equal to.
